I believe every person in New Mexico should have a voice.

That’s been one of my guiding principles as we build this campaign for
governor, and it’s a lesson I learned long ago, when I first began my
career as a community organizer.

[ [link removed] ]Before I share my personal story, I have to ask: If you’re able to,
will you chip in today so we can grow our grassroots campaign for New
Mexico? We need a lot of resources to continue to organize across our
state and speak with voters about our bold plans for the future.

Years before I was first elected to Congress or served as U.S. Secretary
of the Interior, I was an organizer in Indian Country for the reelection
of President Barack Obama. During that time, I traveled to every chapter
of the Navajo Nation. I visited every Pueblo across New Mexico, big and
small. The people I met on the campaign trail were eager to share their
stories and their ideas. But far too often, our leaders don’t make the
effort to engage with underrepresented communities.

We drove so many miles across the state in that little Honda, I thought
the wheels might fall off.

Later on while I was New Mexico Democratic Party chair, I made it a point
to go deep into Republican stronghold counties and rural towns to hear
directly from people about their struggles. And here’s the thing: we
didn’t argue. We had powerful conversations that led to common ground.
Those moments taught me that we want the same things: lower prices, strong
education, and a state where our children can thrive.

Here’s the truth: We can’t only focus our energy on big cities while
ignoring the people on the margins, and that we must be clear-eyed about
the fact that Republicans are seeing this state as their next pick-up
opportunity to bring their divisive, extremist agenda to. To win this
race, we have to organize everywhere and leave no voice unheard. Because
nobody deserves to feel forgotten.

That’s why I’m proud to share that since launching our campaign in
February, I’ve traveled more than 14,000 miles across New Mexico and
visited every county in our state to listen to New Mexicans and earn their
support — and I’m not slowing down.

But organizing statewide in a state as large as New Mexico is time-consuming and expensive
work, which is why I’m counting on people like you. [ [link removed] ]Will you contribute
your very first
$5 to our campaign so we can build a
powerful organizing team that can engage with voters in every county in
New Mexico?

Thank you in advance for your support as we keep traveling the state.
Showing up for each other is how we’ll win.

Be fierce,

Deb
